Body Basics

As a teenager I lived in a town where the local high school’s pregnancy rate rose to 13%, 64 out of 490 female students. Teen pregnancy is a huge issue across America and the problem clearly stems from a lack of education. Studies show schools that teach abstinence-only sexual education have the highest teen pregnancy rates while those exposed to comprehensive sexual education programs have the lowest rates of pregnancy as well as STI’s. A comprehensive sex ed curriculum is not just about sex. It is implemented from kindergarten to 12th grade, and covers a wide range of age appropriate topics that allow children to live healthy lives mentally, physically, and socially.

As the situation currently stands, far too many school districts are not permitted to implement comprehensive sex ed because of laws largely put in place by conservative representatives. My video series, Body Basics, presents a solution to this problem by providing comprehensive sex ed, available free to the public, so that all children have the opportunity to receive a proper sexual education, even if their schools do not provide it. Body Basics is a friendly, approachable version of sex ed that matures along with the children. Parents who want their kids to be educated on the subject can introduce them to Body Basics when they’re young or children seeking out answers can discover them on their own.

Just In Case

Just In Case, by Meg Rosoff, is the story of a boy named David Case who never questioned his ordinary life — until one day, a brush with death brings him face to face with his own mortality. Suddenly, everywhere he looks he sees catastrophe and is convinced that he faces imminent doom. As a result he attempts to hide from Fate by reinventing himself. Now going by the name Justin Case, he struggles to survive in a world where twists of fate wait for him around every corner.

The story revolves around themes consistent with an existential crisis: mortality, fate and loss of innocence. There is a clear distinction between the state of a child who is carefree and full of trust, and the state of an adult who is full of nerves and plagued by doubt. Justin Case’s existence is haunted by paranoia, bringing to mind the question; Are we in charge of our own fates or will catastrophe and disaster happen anyway?

In my title sequence for a theoretical film version of Just In Case, I explore Justin’s obsession with catastrophe by animating an imagined day in his life in which he falls victim to disaster after disaster. There is a humor to the story that is displayed in the animation style and the comic nature of the events that transpire. The type treatment is a reflection of the shift from childhood to adulthood, starting out in lower case before bouncing into all capitals.

Haiku for the Single Girl

Assets made in IllustratorAnimated in After Effects

An animated haiku about the life of the single girl when the booty calls stop coming in. For better or worse booty calls today are more impersonal than ever with the interactions occurring mainly through text messages. The advancements in technology drive the way we communicate with one another and will continue to permeate our lives and relationships even more in the future. As such, the movement and minimalist style of this animation reflects that of the iPhone.
